Abstract
Effectiveness of random fibers in composite materials significantly affects the overall properties of composite materials. Expressions for effectiveness factors in two and three dimensions of random fibres are derived and it is shown that the efficiency of random fibres at a point in a specimen are dependent on the proximity of the point from the surface of the specimen. This aspect has technically significant implications in interpreting test data and in recommending design values from experimental studies and these are discussed in detail. It is also shown that the results obtained in this study are in agreement with several earlier experimental and theoretical studies.
